ANTIRATTLER FOR WINDOW-SASHES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 636,939, dated November14, 1899. Application iilecl February 24, 1899. Serial No. 706,669. (Nomodel.)

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, JACOB H. BANZHOE, a citizen of the United States,residing at Christiana, county of Lancaster, State of Pennsylvania, haveinvented certain Improvements in Antirattlers for Window-Sashes, ofwhich the following is a speciication.

This invention relates to improvements in that class of devices designedfor preventing the rattling of window and other sliding sash; and theobjects of myimprovements are, first, to provide an antirattler thatwill at all times act automatically to prevent rattling of the.

sash, and, second, to combine in the same member the function of anantirattler and that of a Weather-strip.

The invention consists in the construction and combination of thevarious parts, as hereinafter fully described and then pointed out inthe claim. Y

In the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification,Figure l is an inside elevation of the frame and sash of a carwindowhaving myinvention applied thereto; Fig. 2, a vertical section thereofon broken line 2 2 of Fig. 3, and Fig. 3 a transverse section on brokenline 3 3 of Fig. l. Fig. 4 shows a modification in the form of theantirattler.

Referring to the details of the construction, A indicates thewindow-jambs,a the inside bead, and a the outside bead.

B indicates the stiles of the window-frame, and B the Window-glass.

For the purposes of. this specification the groove formed by thewindow-jamb and the inside and the outside beads will be termed thesash-guide.

In the sash-guide, adjacent to the jamb, is located the antirattler,formed of spring metal and having two leaves. One of these leaves Drests in a recess in the jamb and has its free end extending beneath theoutside bead a', which bears thereon, and this free end of leaf D isfurther secured by a nail or screw e, passing through a'hole therein andinto the jamb. The other'end of leaf D extends beneath the inside bead aand is connected by a curved elbow Z with leaf D', which iiares outwarddiagonally toward outside bead a and the stile B of the window-sash,which is beveled, as shown at b, the leaf D' bearing against said bevel.One of these two-leaved springs is located in each sash-guide and eXtends from top to bottom thereof, The pres lsure of leaves D against theWindow-sash is such that, while they hold the sash in an ele'- vatedposition and prevent any rattling thereof, they at the same time presssaid sashA against the inside bead of the window-frame and preven ttheentrance of air, dust, and dirt.

In Fig. 4 is shown a top View of a modification in the form of theantirattler wherein the leaves are connected byabead-like elbow, asshown, which increases the resiliency of leaf D.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination, in an antirattler, of a stile of a sash having theouter edge beveled, a twoleaved spring located in the sash-guide andextending the length thereof, one leaf of the spring being located in arecess in the back of the sash-guide and having its free end eX- tendingbeneath the outside bead of the window-frame, and a curved' elbowconnecting the leaves of the spring and extending beneath the insidebead of the window-frame, the other leaf of the spring bearing againstthe beveled edge of said stile, substantially as and for the purposespecified.

JAC. H. BANZHOF.
